clippy 1.98 adds `clippy::chunks_exact_to_as_chunks`, which fires on the
four `chunks_exact(2)` calls that decode UTF-16 code units. With
`-D warnings` this breaks the quality job.
`as_chunks::<2>()` yields `&[u8; 2]` directly, so the byte pair can be
passed to `u16::from_{le,be}_bytes` without re-indexing. Behavior is
unchanged: every call site already discarded a trailing odd byte.

`quality` is the cheapest signal in the pipeline (~40s). Gate `msrv`, `test` and `test-cross-platform` on it so a clippy or rustfmt failure stops the pipeline before spending runner time on five MSRV jobs and three cross-platform test matrices. `coverage` is already gated transitively via `needs: [test, test-cross-platform]`. Also scope the two remaining mise-action jobs that were still installing the full ~30-tool toolset, for the same reason as the CI jobs: `codeql` only needs `rust` for autobuild, and `security` only needs the tools its three recipes call. `docs` is left unscoped because it legitimately uses the full mdbook toolchain.

Set explicit least-privilege token permissions.
This workflow does not declare a permissions block. The test job passes GITHUB_TOKEN to jdx/mise-action and runs repository-controlled commands, so the token uses repository defaults instead of a workflow-defined minimum. Add permissions: contents: read at workflow scope, then grant only job-specific permissions where required.

`docs` and `copilot-setup-steps` cannot use the per-job `install_args`
scoping that ci.yml uses: `docs` legitimately needs the whole mdbook
toolchain (including mdbook-linkcheck, one of the crates with no prebuilt
artifact), and `copilot-setup-steps` exists precisely to prove the full
developer environment installs.
Both fail on ubuntu with the same chain as the macOS CI failure: binstall
misses a prebuilt, mise falls back to `cargo install`, that drives rustup
against the runner image's ambient 1.93.0 toolchain, and concurrent
fallbacks corrupt it:
error: could not remove 'component' file: .../1.93.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/cargo-clippy
error: failed to install component: 'llvm-tools-preview-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
`MISE_JOBS: 1` removes the concurrency, so the fallbacks can no longer
race each other. Slower, but neither workflow is latency-sensitive.

Summary
Unblocks CI. Every open PR had been red since 2026-08-28 because of a single
deterministic failure in
test-cross-platform (macos-latest).This branch also carries a refresh of the pinned GitHub Actions and the mise
lockfile, plus the two fixes that refresh made necessary.
Root cause
It was one failure, not three.
Every job ran
mise installagainst the full ~30-tool toolset.cargo-binstallcould not resolve prebuilt artifacts forcargo-audit,mdbook-linkcheckandmdbook-i18n-helpers(QuickInstall-only sources), andis invoked with the compile strategy disabled:
For crate cargo-audit: Fallback to cargo-install is disabled.mise fell back to
cargo installfor all three concurrently. Thatfallback drives rustup against the runner image's ambient default toolchain
(1.93.0), not the mise-managed one --

mise-actionfinishes installing.Simultaneous rustup operations corrupted that toolchain:
mise installexited 1. With nofail-fastoverride, the macOS failurecancelled the Linux and Windows jobs mid-step, so
gh pr checksrenderedthree red checks for one underlying fault.
This is not macOS-specific. The same chain reproduced on ubuntu in
docsand

checks.
4. Gate costly jobs on

Known limitation
Scoping removes the trigger on the gating jobs, but the
cargo install->ambient-toolchain fallback is still live anywhere a
cargo:tool misses itsprebuilt;
MISE_JOBS: 1only makes it non-destructive by removing the race.Verification
